CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 19.-The wheat
market was rather dull today, oper.
ators as a rule being chsiy about
trading. No new features we're devel-
oped. There was no crop news to az
feet values, and interest centered very
closely in the probable moves OF the
hull clique. The export clesrngs
were very light, while the receipts at
twelve points were $4,000 bu. This
n arket opened at S2sc> for May deliv-
cry, broke off to S2gc, rallied to SSfc,
and closed the day at the top figures.
Corn was active and weak The
speculative offerings were qaite free
throughout both sessions, under which
May declined to 1896 ald closed at
about bottom figures. Oats were dull
and easy and closed shade lower.
